The roof of a Shell gas station partially collapsed due to rain and wind damage in northwest Harris County Sunday evening.

Officers responded to the collapse at the gas station on the 16000 block of Tuckerton and Queenstown at around 8:10 p.m. Authorities said that one female customer was transported to Cy Fair Hospital for precautionary treatment.

Storms also caused several accidents on area freeways. The storms caused more than 9,100 people to be without electricity Sunday night, according to CenterPoint Energy. The number had fallen to around 200 by early Monday morning.

The National Weather Service reported about 2 inches of rainfall and 30 to 40 mph winds in the Jersey Village area late Sunday. The area faces a 60 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms Monday.
